Now, I am a big fan of pickles done up through canning. Bread and butter, sweet, and dills..... and don't each much of the spicy stuff. But then, I don't get very creative when I cook either. Especially not with wanting out of here and into the "new" house. Maybe I will get back into wanting to cook more.....especially with my gas stove again. I hate cooking on electric.... yet I was raised with it; but we had a gas (propane) stove at the "cabin" in Vt.; no electric there at all, had propane wall lamps and kerosene lamps to carry up to the bedrooms at night, and to use at the table too....and I loved cooking with the propane and got one as soon as I got out of the parents house.
My father will only eat canned peas and for years I wouldn't touch peas.... until I had them fresh from the garden, then frozen/cooked to where they weren't mush.
Yes, it is alot of what you are raised with... and some of what you maybe try somewhere and decide you like so then you start eating it that way.
I like my yellow squash with just a little butter, salt and pepper.... but I also like it mashed like you would mash potatoes.... had it that way as a kid and really liked it.
I eat pretty plain.... would like to have someone around who liked to cook, so that I would try other stuff.... I am too tired many nights to even want to cook. And standing at the stove isn't what my knees want either.
